Using good agile practices, this document should be retrieved from a library that's under revision control. Once the prototype order has been completed, the work flow generally branches into one or more different segments. In this case, our first one would be to prepare the operations team for the work that they need to do. Simultaneously, you may be doing some testing. This testing in our case here may be virtual testing of a digital prototype using computer-aided simulation technologies. This testing would be performed by a simulation analyst using…
